December 2018 Group Watch: Infrastructure Top 2019 Priority

House majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter and Senate Majority Leader Greg Reed both said recently that improving the state’s roads will be a major goal of the 2019 legislative session, which is critical to sustaining the state economy. Their remarks reinforced signals from the legislature that the state’s gas tax, the key source of money for road maintenance, will be a major focus when legislators convene this spring. Legislators have not addressed the 18-cent tax, a combination of three separate levies, since 1992.
